Well, there was a woman who yelled at Churchill. "Go home you drunk man!" His reply was simple and a complete roast; "Ma'am I'm drunk, but tomorrow I'll be sober and you'll still be ugly"
This didn't actually happen. Firstly: the joke has been found it publications in the 19th century & secondly the women churchil is said to have said this to, Bessie Braddock, would have kicked the shit out of him.
There are a LOT of things attributed to Churchill that he didn't actually say, but they have become part of his legend over time and thus kind of make sense to include anyways as references.
@@JHarris533 You talk about facts, but then you say something as stupid as Bessie being able to kick the shit out of him. Get out of here, you cornball.
It's funny, I've rewatched this battles and seen reactions to this one multiple times, and while watching this one and seeing this line come up, that fact jumped to me out of nowhere. I don't know how I never caught it before.
I agree, that's some real....like, god-tier Wordplay. Also, TR held up his two fingers as he said the line, he was flipping Churchill off using the UK's version of the middle finger--index and middle finger up.
If I remember correctly, I believe the speech teddy gave after being shot was about 45 min- 1 hour longish. When Teddy was president, he heard some of his cavalry units were complaining about having to ride 25 miles a day for training. Teddy roosevelt, being a rough rider at heart, jumped on his horse as soon as possible and rode 100 miles in a single day to show his men how actual men go about bussiness.
Jake Hamilton: Fun fact. After the speech at the hospital the doctors determined it would be more dangerous to remove the bullet so TR said leave it in. He lived with a bullet in his chest the rest of his life.
Roosevelt's dad died when Teddy was just out of college, and then his mother died...the same day as his first wife, who died giving birth. Dude lost a lot of family.
@@Dailyblazer19 Yeah, his mother died on the 3rd floor, I think it was a heart attack, and then 6 hours later his wife died giving birth to his first daughter down on the first floor. He then said "screw it" and moved to the Dakota Badlands to be a cowboy for a while.
The "Change your poster to 'keep calm and kiss my cousin's ass'" line was a really slick, cause the U.S. and Britian are often considered cousin's, but FDR was also Teddy's cousin and president when Churchill was in power.
This is my headcanon now: Teddy gets shot in the chest. Teddy to shooter: You should have gone for the head. (snaps fingers and goes on to deliver speach)
The difference between the British and Americans is that the British think 100 miles is a damn long way and the Americans think 100 years is a damn long time.
Theodore Roosevelt was truly the most American man you could ever think of. His life story is so full of adventures and accomplishments and to think that he was born with severe asthma and a walking disability. He was certainly someone who took life a step further. A man who built himself through fitness, education, and ambition. Went to Ivy League school, served as a police commissioner for New York City, led the most badass military unit during the Spanish-American War; The Rough Riders, a multi-racial cavalry unit. Became the youngest President to be elected into office, invited Booker T Washington to the White House to advise him on to build and support black communities across the country, founded the National Parks and preservation of animals (if it wasn’t for him, the Buffalo would’ve gone extinct long ago). This was a man who was BIGGER than life, if people walked up to you and told you he wrestled a bear, you honestly wouldn’t doubt it. He truly was a man who embodied the American spirit and he is by far my second favorite president, after Abraham Lincoln.
Something no one has pointed out that some people and maybe even Rich might not know is that when he says "I should stuff you in a pram just so you can throw your toys out" is reference to a British saying of "Throw one's toys out of the pram" which is like a baby throwing a tantrum for not getting it's way and throwing it's toys out of the pram, which is a way the British call baby strollers. Also the Teddy Bear line came from the fact the iconic toy was named after Roosevelt who's nickname was "Teddy"...a nickname which he absolutely HATED.
The toasted/roasted line he actually said kinda. At a press conference he was asked if he was drunk during the speech he had given right before and he said "tomorrow I'll be sober and you'll still be ugly"
Captortn got it earlier- WC is also “watercloset,” slang for “toilet” across the pond. Also saying he’d give WC a deuce (poop), but he also holds up two (deuce) fingers in a reverse peace sign, basically the British middle finger.
@@sonicpokemaster1 no the reverse peace sign is the British finger, I forgot which country would cut the fingers of their bowmen. So in battle the bowmen would hold it up as an insult to them saying fuck you we still got our fingers. The mild finger insult was coined by the Americans.

9:45 "WC" is also a French abbreviation for Water Closet (bathroom). So, "give WC the full deuce", leads into "Whatever *shit* you throw at me...". That's some really nice word play. Also - The Deuce is an English insult gesture akin to the middle finger that English bowmen would flash at the French. Extra double nice wordplay! This ERB is so very good.
ERB has been wanting to do Theodore Roosevelt for a while now and now they have. President Theodore Roosevelt was a champion boxer while a student at Harvard University and a jujitsu martial artist before becoming a politician whereas Winston Churchill was a prime minister of Great Britain
To give you an idea of how large the USA is, the four great lakes combined size is bigger than the UK is. Combined they're 94,250 square miles, whereas the UK is 93,628 square miles. We have rivers even longer than that. The USA IS HUGE.
Theodore Roosevelt was shot in the chest and survived and continued to speak for another 2 hours before he went to the hospital and the doctors just kept it in
"TR will give WC the full deuce" this line plays on the British "deuce" which is their version of the middle finger (as you see Teddy giving it to Churchill) but it also plays on WC being what you will often see on a restroom door in the UK they call it a "Water Closet" or W.C. for short and "deuce" being a euphemism for defecation.
Still, delivering a two hour speech with a bullet stuck between your ribs is no small feat. Not to mention the balls it takes to calmly make the call to do so in the first place.
In terms of physical state, the UK is probably the size of a state however In terms of population, The UK is way bigger than a single state, almost 70 million people in the UK
Plus you generally have to include the Commonwealth still when talking about Britain as The Queen is still Head of State for numerous countries including Canada, Australia, Jamaica, New Zealand, Belize, Barbados, The Bahamas, Grenada, Solomon Islands, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and The Grenadines, Anitgua and Barbuda and several others and also Crown dependancies as well. Not to mentiton the other countries in the Commonwealth nations such as India and Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Mozambique Bangladesh and over 50 others. Basically what I am saying is when considering any military campaign there is a reason the UK armed forces is ranked so high in world terms and that is due to one their own population but also to the fact that The Queen is head of State over several other countries who traditionally have always stood with Britain.

Jump onto Dan Bull songs. Dan Bull is playing Churchill in this battle and played Jack the Ripper in another battle. You have also reacted to his Kill shot dissing spree like months ago. Dan Bull is 🔥. He does raps about video games. I listen to dan bull and I don't evenreally play video games but the raps are so creative well written. Check out his song "Civilation" hands down a classic that will stand the tesy if time.
The only other president that is as tough, and honestly tougher, is Andrew Jackson. Well, his legacy didn’t age well. Jackson beat his would be assassin unconscious (think he died later)with his cane. He was like 12 during the Rev. war and when he and his bro were captured by redcoats they told them to shine their boots and Jackson stepped hard and spit on the officer which got him knocked out. His spoken last regret was not killing the women who dishonored his wife which led to her withering away. I think there was like 4 to 6 duels... dude was a mad hatter
I'm so glad you're learning a lot from history thanks to Erb so far Rich, public school doesn't do anything when it comes to learning, living life does. Remember, life is like school, you learn something new everyday.
This is my favorite rap from them. Teddy absolutely got it 👏 Also from what I read the speech he delivered after being shot was 90 minutes long, then yep, strolling to the hospital 🤣
No that was toward his big stick policy where he said walk softly and carry a big stick which one believe means be careful and don't start shit but be ready to finish it
WC is also the abbreviation for "wash closet" which refers to the toilet. Full deuce (a slang for a big shit). Then Winston counters "whatever shit you throw at me, I'll just return to sender" to refer (rather broadly) to presidential mudslinging, but I am unsure if Teddy Roosevelt experienced that.
This battle is reeeaaaally epic if you know the histories and speeches and legends surrounding these two guys. Theodore is definitely a badass, but Churchill, despite being perpetually drunk and always talking with a cigar in his mouth, gave some absolutely chilling speeches. Two lines here 'I'll battle you on the beaches' and 'I'll fight you to the end and I will never surrender' are references to his famous speeches, where in Britain's darkest days on the verges of invasion from Germany when Churchill was elected in emergency, he had a do-or-die moment to reignite some passion in the demotivated British, and his steeled resolve and stating without hesitation that Britain would fight Germany to the end and never surrender, and that they'll fight them in the air, they'll fight them on the beaches , was just the kind of passionate anger from a leader Britain needed to spark that patriotism. While it's true the war may have ended differently if Pearl Harbor never happened, Churchill was quite the unshakable bulldog.
If I recall correctly Roosevelt also said at the start of the speech that he had planned a longer speech but because of getting shot he was giving them the short version that lasted for over an hour before heading to the hospital
the story goes that an MP woman criticized churchill for being "disgustingly drunk". he responded "my dear, you are ugly. what's more, you are disgustlying ugly. but tomorrow i shall be sober, and you will still be ugly"
1:47 is acutally a nod to long time ERB fans, where they used a black and white picture of theodore Roosevelt moving his mouth up and down to talk to us on channel updates and such like that and it they opened it the same every time "WHAT'S UP BITCHES!" so that line is a nod to all ERB fans
There's more to the line "TR will give WC the full deuce" -- WC in England is also short for "Water Closet" and I bet you can guess which room in the house THAT is! I wonder if Winston ever got teased for his initials or if outhouses were more common where / when he grew up.
When Teddy survived the assassination attempt, he had a book in his breast pocket. I believe it was a pocket Bible, but could be wrong there. I also believe he started the following speech with the quote, "A bullet can't stop the Bull Moose."
also, TR's response to being born with asthma and being small and frail? bulk up and become ludicrously fit so asthma couldnt bother him. after brokering peace after the ruso-japanese war, he invited a sumo to the white house. after seeing the sumo and learning the basic rules of the sport, he asks the sumo to wrestle him in the oval office.... "there is nothing quite as invigorating as being thrown about the room by a 400 pound japanese man". TR was a beast
Also note that when Teddy said "TR will give WC the full deuce!", WC was also a British term for "Water Closet", or toilet room. Deuce means "peace" here but in the UK, I believe two fingers up meant "F--k you".
"TR will give WC the full deuce" - WC in the UK is short for "waste closet" (toilet) > And of course Churchill's initials... - Full deuce, two fingers ( the peace sign [deuces]) is "V for victory" > As well as "dropping a deuce" in the waste closet.... This is why Churchill responds with "Whatever shit you throw at me..." and "I will battle to the end and I will never surrender" is a historical line by Churchill... "Walk softly over here and give my big stick a suckle" - Famous Roosevelt quote/ slogan... "I speak softly, but I carry a big stick"
The Pearl Harbor reference was pretty accurate.When Churchill found out about the bombing,he stated he,"Went to bed and slept the sleep of the saved."It wasn't meant to be in any way disrespectful to the U.S,or that he didn't feel terrible about those Americans that were killed.His country was going to lose the war,and he was grateful he'd now have The United States as a powerful ally to win WW2.☺️
Hey when you get close to finishing up erb do you think you can check out Epiclloyds Dis Raps For Hire series? It's very good and would love to see your reaction to it
Theodore got shot during his speech and the stuff in his pocket slowed down the bullet. The shooter was taken away and Theodore calmed the crowd by saying "Ladies and gentlemen, I have just been shot. But it takes more than one bullet to take down a bull moose." He then went to the hospital to patch up the wound but refused to have it removed because of the risk of the surgery. So he died with that bullet in his chest. A true badass.
also, he kept the crowd who grabbed the shooter from lynching him on the spot if memory serves he wanted the man to have a fair trial in court as was the law.
No, The UK is not the size of Alabama. This was an oversight on ERB's end. Edit: The UK is larger than Alabama. I think it was just meant to be a general reference to the fact that the UK is smaller than the USA.
The UK is larger then Alabama, but England proper is almost exactly the size of Alabama. If they were shooting for the UK I think Wyoming would be closer.
Very clever. An MP in Parliament called Churchhill a drunk. Churchhill responded "I may be drunk, but you're ugly, and in the morning I'll be sober, but you'll still be ugly." And TR did actually say "It takes more than that to kill a bull moose!" Admittedly, he was running for a third term under the Bull Moose Party. Sorry. Winston had that one.
Well it wasn't his chest that just absorbed the bullet, he had his long speech and his glasses case in his front pocket, both of which helped slow down the bullet which still got stuck in his chest cavity. Roosevelt was a pro hunter, so after he got shot he coughed into his hand to see that there wasn't blood, which meant he didnt get hit in the lung. After he saw that he was fine, that's when he decided to continue his 85 minute speech. Even though the bullet got slowed down, he still took it like a man, which is still extremely admirable
7:25 it’s even better than that. He got shot MID SPEECH and just looked at the Assad in and said “you poor creature” AND HE KEPT GOING! Teddy’s super cool
potential recommendations (assuming you haven't seen them): 10 second songs and homestar runner. homestar is a classic and by itself would more than fill the hole left by erb, the cartoons actually predate youtube and they still come out occasionally (plus they're mostly under 3 minutes so you could do a couple at a time).
I think the reason that the average age of death was so low in the past was because the statistics include infant mortalities. People do live a little longer than they used to on average (like 5-10 years), but the main reason the average life expectancy has gone up is because less infants die in childbirth.
Roosevelt's speech was super long. He was opposed to it, but kept the length anyways. It was folded up and kept in his breast pocket when he was shot. The speech was so thick it stopped the bullet. Unphased, he continued on to do his speech. No bleeding.
you think the 1 bullet makes roosevelt a badass? take a closer look at bismarck, the iron chancellor^^ When Bismarck was close to the Russian Embassy, Cohen-Blind took aim and fired twice from behind; Bismarck spun around and grabbed his attacker, who was able to fire three more shots before soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Guards rushed up and took him into custody. Bismarck continued on his way home. Later that night, he allowed the King's physician, Gustav von Lauer, to examine him. Lauer noted that the first three bullets had only grazed Bismarck's body and the last two had ricocheted off the ribs and had caused no major injuries.
Also... "TR will give WC the full deuce"... a WC stands for "Water Closet" (An old term for a toilet.) Kudos on the commenting on the video, enjoyable. :-)
Dude, I have just started watching your channel, but you should check out Flash in the Pan Hip-Hop Conflicts of Nowadays by these guys. The Ronald McDonald vs Burger King one has lines they didn't use in the actual video, and the Big Bird vs Larry Bird battle is probably one of my favorites battles that they do.
There was a deeper double meaning in TR giving WC the full deuce. WC is the initials for what some Brits call the wash closet (bathroom) and giving it the full deuce... Well...
Funnily enough- the "Tomorow I'll be sober and you still be roasted" line is a reference to what WC really said after being confronted by a reporter for being drunk. He responded with something along the line of: "Yes I am very drunk. And you, madam, are very ugly. But tomorrow I'll be sober. And you will still be ugly."
Well, there was a woman who yelled at Churchill. "Go home you drunk man!"
His reply was simple and a complete roast;
"Ma'am I'm drunk, but tomorrow I'll be sober and you'll still be ugly"

Check out his song "Civilation" hands down a classic that will stand the tesy if time.
Two seconds into the vid he’s already into it😆 truth be told this is one the sickest beats they’ve ever had.
The only other president that is as tough, and honestly tougher, is Andrew Jackson. Well, his legacy didn’t age well. Jackson beat his would be assassin unconscious (think he died later)with his cane. He was like 12 during the Rev. war and when he and his bro were captured by redcoats they told them to shine their boots and Jackson stepped hard and spit on the officer which got him knocked out. His spoken last regret was not killing the women who dishonored his wife which led to her withering away. I think there was like 4 to 6 duels... dude was a mad hatter
I'm so glad you're learning a lot from history thanks to Erb so far Rich, public school doesn't do anything when it comes to learning, living life does. Remember, life is like school, you learn something new everyday.
This is my favorite rap from them. Teddy absolutely got it 👏 Also from what I read the speech he delivered after being shot was 90 minutes long, then yep, strolling to the hospital 🤣
I believe I got shot, nevermind then let's carry on with proceedings.. oh and you should of shot me in the head
Teddy Roosevelt's second verse is my favorite one in the entire ERB series
When Teddy Roosevelt said about the big stick he was referring to the USS Iowa also known as the big stick
No that was toward his big stick policy where he said walk softly and carry a big stick which one believe means be careful and don't start shit but be ready to finish it
@@bozilla1996 It could be a reference to both
if you put Alaska between France and Germany it takes up like 90% of both countries
Do Oversimplied. They are essentially really fun humorous condensed history lessons
Definitely one of my favorite ERB battles
Thanks for the shout out.
WC is also the abbreviation for "wash closet" which refers to the toilet. Full deuce (a slang for a big shit). Then Winston counters "whatever shit you throw at me, I'll just return to sender" to refer (rather broadly) to presidential mudslinging, but I am unsure if Teddy Roosevelt experienced that.
For those who dont already know....the guy playing Churchill was also Jack the ripper.
Just in case Jeopardy calls! =)
This battle is reeeaaaally epic if you know the histories and speeches and legends surrounding these two guys. Theodore is definitely a badass, but Churchill, despite being perpetually drunk and always talking with a cigar in his mouth, gave some absolutely chilling speeches. Two lines here 'I'll battle you on the beaches' and 'I'll fight you to the end and I will never surrender' are references to his famous speeches, where in Britain's darkest days on the verges of invasion from Germany when Churchill was elected in emergency, he had a do-or-die moment to reignite some passion in the demotivated British, and his steeled resolve and stating without hesitation that Britain would fight Germany to the end and never surrender, and that they'll fight them in the air, they'll fight them on the beaches , was just the kind of passionate anger from a leader Britain needed to spark that patriotism. While it's true the war may have ended differently if Pearl Harbor never happened, Churchill was quite the unshakable bulldog.
If I recall correctly Roosevelt also said at the start of the speech that he had planned a longer speech but because of getting shot he was giving them the short version that lasted for over an hour before heading to the hospital
finally im so glad you did this one its by far ERBs greatest work!!
Water Closet (or WC for short) is british slang for a toilet. So when he says he TR will give WC the full deuce it's also a double entendre.
Hardly slang, just a word for it
The “WC” also refers to the letters on British public restrooms (for “water closet”)
Well call them toilets now
the story goes that an MP woman criticized churchill for being "disgustingly drunk". he responded
"my dear, you are ugly. what's more, you are disgustlying ugly. but tomorrow i shall be sober, and you will still be ugly"
Princess Rap battle! A necessity. Almost all as savage as the worst ERB's. Only 9 were made so won't take long.
Don't worry, hardly all princesses.
6:29 anyone else feel like that joke went over his head
I have been waiting for this one
Finally. I was waiting for this
1:47 is acutally a nod to long time ERB fans, where they used a black and white picture of theodore Roosevelt moving his mouth up and down to talk to us on channel updates and such like that and it they opened it the same every time "WHAT'S UP BITCHES!" so that line is a nod to all ERB fans
There's more to the line "TR will give WC the full deuce" -- WC in England is also short for "Water Closet" and I bet you can guess which room in the house THAT is! I wonder if Winston ever got teased for his initials or if outhouses were more common where / when he grew up.
there is also the fact that WC can refer to a water closet which was the name of the restroom used at one point.
When Teddy survived the assassination attempt, he had a book in his breast pocket. I believe it was a pocket Bible, but could be wrong there. I also believe he started the following speech with the quote, "A bullet can't stop the Bull Moose."
also, TR's response to being born with asthma and being small and frail? bulk up and become ludicrously fit so asthma couldnt bother him. after brokering peace after the ruso-japanese war, he invited a sumo to the white house. after seeing the sumo and learning the basic rules of the sport, he asks the sumo to wrestle him in the oval office.... "there is nothing quite as invigorating as being thrown about the room by a 400 pound japanese man".
TR was a beast
Also note that when Teddy said "TR will give WC the full deuce!", WC was also a British term for "Water Closet", or toilet room. Deuce means "peace" here but in the UK, I believe two fingers up meant "F--k you".
A side note on TR will give WC the full deuce. WC is in Europe and the UK is an abbreviation for Water Closet (aka the bathroom).
You have like 5 erb videos left to react to not including behind the scenes, dont miss em. 💯💯
"TR will give WC the full deuce"
- WC in the UK is short for "waste closet" (toilet)
> And of course Churchill's initials...
- Full deuce, two fingers ( the peace sign [deuces]) is "V for victory"
> As well as "dropping a deuce" in the waste closet....
This is why Churchill responds with "Whatever shit you throw at me..."
and "I will battle to the end and I will never surrender" is a historical line by Churchill...
"Walk softly over here and give my big stick a suckle"
- Famous Roosevelt quote/ slogan...
"I speak softly, but I carry a big stick"
The Pearl Harbor reference was pretty accurate.When Churchill found out about the bombing,he stated he,"Went to bed and slept the sleep of the saved."It wasn't meant to be in any way disrespectful to the U.S,or that he didn't feel terrible about those Americans that were killed.His country was going to lose the war,and he was grateful he'd now have The United States as a powerful ally to win WW2.☺️
Hey when you get close to finishing up erb do you think you can check out Epiclloyds Dis Raps For Hire series? It's very good and would love to see your reaction to it
WC is also short for Water Closet which is an era-specific term for bathroom.
Theodore got shot during his speech and the stuff in his pocket slowed down the bullet. The shooter was taken away and Theodore calmed the crowd by saying "Ladies and gentlemen, I have just been shot. But it takes more than one bullet to take down a bull moose." He then went to the hospital to patch up the wound but refused to have it removed because of the risk of the surgery. So he died with that bullet in his chest.
A true badass.
also, he kept the crowd who grabbed the shooter from lynching him on the spot if memory serves he wanted the man to have a fair trial in court as was the law.
No, The UK is not the size of Alabama. This was an oversight on ERB's end.
Edit: The UK is larger than Alabama. I think it was just meant to be a general reference to the fact that the UK is smaller than the USA.
The UK is larger then Alabama, but England proper is almost exactly the size of Alabama.
The UK is larger then Alabama, but England proper is almost exactly the size of Alabama.
If they were shooting for the UK I think Wyoming would be closer.

Another facet of the "TR will give WC the full deuce" is that the British call the bathroom the "Water Closet", or "WC" for short.
"WC" is also a British abbreviation for "water closet" aka the bathroom here in the US.
Very clever. An MP in Parliament called Churchhill a drunk. Churchhill responded "I may be drunk, but you're ugly, and in the morning I'll be sober, but you'll still be ugly."
And TR did actually say "It takes more than that to kill a bull moose!" Admittedly, he was running for a third term under the Bull Moose Party.
Sorry. Winston had that one.
Well it wasn't his chest that just absorbed the bullet, he had his long speech and his glasses case in his front pocket, both of which helped slow down the bullet which still got stuck in his chest cavity. Roosevelt was a pro hunter, so after he got shot he coughed into his hand to see that there wasn't blood, which meant he didnt get hit in the lung. After he saw that he was fine, that's when he decided to continue his 85 minute speech.
Even though the bullet got slowed down, he still took it like a man, which is still extremely admirable
Finally someone caught the TR/WC line. Only reactor I've seen so far.
7:25 it’s even better than that. He got shot MID SPEECH and just looked at the Assad in and said “you poor creature” AND HE KEPT GOING! Teddy’s super cool
I highly recommend the Princess Rap Battles by Whitney Avalon. There may be not so much, but they're great!
WC is also an abbreviation for 'Water Closet', a British term for a bathroom.
potential recommendations (assuming you haven't seen them): 10 second songs and homestar runner. homestar is a classic and by itself would more than fill the hole left by erb, the cartoons actually predate youtube and they still come out occasionally (plus they're mostly under 3 minutes so you could do a couple at a time).
I think the reason that the average age of death was so low in the past was because the statistics include infant mortalities. People do live a little longer than they used to on average (like 5-10 years), but the main reason the average life expectancy has gone up is because less infants die in childbirth.
Roosevelt's speech was super long. He was opposed to it, but kept the length anyways. It was folded up and kept in his breast pocket when he was shot. The speech was so thick it stopped the bullet. Unphased, he continued on to do his speech. No bleeding.
I cant believe you missed that "thank god for pearl harbor" line. That shit was funny as hell!
you think the 1 bullet makes roosevelt a badass? take a closer look at bismarck, the iron chancellor^^
When Bismarck was close to the Russian Embassy, Cohen-Blind took aim and fired twice from behind; Bismarck spun around and grabbed his attacker, who was able to fire three more shots before soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Guards rushed up and took him into custody. Bismarck continued on his way home. Later that night, he allowed the King's physician, Gustav von Lauer, to examine him. Lauer noted that the first three bullets had only grazed Bismarck's body and the last two had ricocheted off the ribs and had caused no major injuries.
Also... "TR will give WC the full deuce"... a WC stands for "Water Closet" (An old term for a toilet.)
Kudos on the commenting on the video, enjoyable. :-)
Dude, I have just started watching your channel, but you should check out Flash in the Pan Hip-Hop Conflicts of Nowadays by these guys. The Ronald McDonald vs Burger King one has lines they didn't use in the actual video, and the Big Bird vs Larry Bird battle is probably one of my favorites battles that they do.
Diss Tracks for hire by Epic Lloyd
2 suggestion 1) DisRaps for hire and 2) infinite source rap battles
this is the most clear cut tie out of all the ERB's, this begs for a rematch
Personally, I would like to see you react to death battles
Hell yeah! Good shit
There was a deeper double meaning in TR giving WC the full deuce. WC is the initials for what some Brits call the wash closet (bathroom) and giving it the full deuce... Well...
Funnily enough- the "Tomorow I'll be sober and you still be roasted" line is a reference to what WC really said after being confronted by a reporter for being drunk. He responded with something along the line of: "Yes I am very drunk. And you, madam, are very ugly. But tomorrow I'll be sober. And you will still be ugly."
